CARRIAGE-HOOD WINDOW.

Application led February 12, 1927. Serial No. 167,834.

This invention relates to a window construction particularly designed for use in the hoods or tops of baby-carriages or doll carriages or other similar articles. A special object of the invention is to provide a window which is particularly adapted for use in articles covered with woven fibre reed, although the utility of the invention is not limited to use with this material.' Further features of the invention relate to the provision of a transparent disc made of such material that slots may be readily formed therein; to the provision of' an improved outer rim having holding or clamping prongs extending directly rearward from the inner edge thereof; and to the provision of a clamping ring` adapted to be positioned at the inner face of the woven fibre and' surrounding the clamping prongs.

Further features of the inevntion relate to arrangements and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

A preferred form of the invention is shown in the drawings in which Figa 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a carriage hood having my improved window mounted therein;

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view, taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the transparent disc. Referring to the drawings, I have shown my improved window as being inserted and secured in a circular opening in a sheet 10 of woven fibre reed. This reed is commonly composed of al series of warp members 11 and filling members 12, and is of substantial thickness, as indicated in Fig. 3.

My improved window comprises a front member or rim 14, preferably having the cross section shown in Fig. 3, and having its inner edge surface projected rearward so that it will extend through the thickness of the woven reed fabric and will abut firmly against a, transparent disc 16. This disc 16 is preferably made from Celluloid or other similar material and is provided with a series of slots 17, as shown in Fig. 4.

The front rim 14 is also provided with a series of prongs 18 extending directly rearward from the inner edge of the'rim 14 and so located that they will extend through the slotsl 17 in the' disc 16.

As the parts are assembled, the prongs extend directly rearward straight through the disc 16 as indicated indotted lines in Fig'. 3. After the rim 14 and disc 16 have been thus assembled on opposite sides of the woven fabric 10, a clamping ring 20 is placed around the prongs 18 and against the inner face of the transparent disc 16. The prongs 18 are then bent outward as indicated in full lines in Fig. 3 and as clearly shown in Fig. 2, thus firmly securing the parts together.

My improved window is thus made of three parts only, each of which is of very simple construction. The disc 16 is merely a piece of flat sheet material with slots punched therein. The ring 20 is also a flat ring of sheet material, having continuous inner and outer edges, and the rim 14 is of a shape easily constructed by punching or press operations. The prongs 18 extend directly rearward during the assembling operation and are simply bent outward against the ring 20 to complete the attachment.

Having thus described my invention and the advantages thereof, I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed otherwise than as set forth in theclaims, but what I claim is:

1. A carriage hood window for fabric comprising an outer rim having rearwardly projecting prongs on its inner edge portion, projecting through said fabric, a transparent disc positioned on the opposite side of said fabric from said rim and having a series of slots therein, spaced angularly to correspond to the positions of the prongs on said rim, said prongs extending through said slots and being bent laterally inside of said disc to retain the parts in assembled relation.

2. A carriage hood window for fabric comprising an outer rim having rearwardly projecting prongs on its inner edge portion, projecting through said fabric, a transparent disc positioned on the opposite side of said fabric from said rim and having a series of slots therein spaced inwardly from the edge thereof and spaced angularly to correspond to the positions of the prongs on said rim,

`senibly to firmly said prongs extendinr through said slots and being bent lateraltly inside of said dise to reta-in the parts in assembled relation.4

3. A carriage hood Window comprising an outer riin having prongs projecting directly rear iard from the inner edge thereof, a. transparent dise having slots positioned to correspond to the prongs, and a clamping ring engaging the inner vface of the transparent dise and surrounding the prongs, said prongs being bent outward after asseeure the parts in position. 4. A `Window for woven reed fabric eo1nprising 'an outer rini having its outer p0rtion eonvexly curved and engaging the outer face of the fabric, and having its inner edge portion projected through an opening in said cbrie and abutting a transparent dise, said dise engagingthe rear face of said fabric, and prongs on said riin extending directly rearward through slots in said dise, said prongs being bent laterally outward against said dise to secure said parts in position.
